3 ¶ And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do ^areturn unto the Lord with all your hearts, then ^bput away the strange ^cgods and ^dAshtaroth from among you, and prepare your ^ehearts unto the Lord, and ^fserve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

  11 But if ye will repent and ^areturn unto the Lord your God I will turn away mine anger, saith the Lord; yea, thus saith the Lord, blessed are they who will repent and turn unto me, but wo unto him that repenteth not.

  6 O ye house of Israel whom I have ^aspared, how oft will I gather you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if ye will repent and ^breturn unto me with full purpose of ^cheart.

  22 But behold, my son, I recommend thee unto God, and I trust in Christ that thou wilt be saved; and I ^apray unto God that he will ^bspare thy life, to witness the return of his people unto him, or their utter destruction; for I know that they must perish except they ^crepent and return unto him.
